Queen of South vs Dundee preview - Same again for Queens

Posted Saturday, February 05, 2011 by PA

Queen of the South boss Kenny Brannigan will name an unchanged side for the visit of Dundee.

David Lilley and Bob Harris remain suspended so Brannigan will select the same XI that took the field for the abandoned game against Ross County on Tuesday night.

"We were doing well against County so I will be going out with the same team against Dundee," said Brannigan.

"Our aim has to be to get a win and close the gap on the teams above us in the league, although I recognise that this game will be a real test.

"In saying that, all games in the First Division are real tests but it would be nice to keep moving forward."

Dundee will be without Stephen O'Donnell for the trip.

The midfielder will miss out through suspension, but Barry Smith`s squad will be boosted by the inclusion of trialists Stewart Greacen and Tom Brighton.

A win for the Dens Park men and anything less than a win for Stirling would see Dundee climb off the bottom of the table, but Smith is not looking that far ahead.

"We will just take things one game at a time," he said. "I am after three points from this game and nothing else.

"I was down at the game that was abandoned in midweek and saw enough during the hour that was played to realise that we will need to be at our best to take anything from this game."
